Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The disclosed embodiments relate to a train control system, and more particularly to a train control system for train formation using distributed power (DP) technology. The technique involves the positioning and operation of one or more sets of locomotives distributed throughout a train consist comprising multiple railcars and multiple locomotives. These locomotives are controlled remotely from the cab of the lead locomotive (ie, Lead Locomotive (LL)). Background technique
[0002] It is known that locomotives distributed throughout the consist can be operated in two different modes of operation. The first mode is the synchronous mode of operation, which refers to a situation where all locomotives are operated such that they perform the same operation as entered by the operator located in the cab of the LL. The second mode is an independent mode of operation, wherein the operator of the lead locomotive controls each locomotive (or all groups / subsets)...
